You know those annoying Mac/PC commercials you see on TV all the time these days? If the guys who make PCs wanted to strike back they should make an online poker commercial with the same premise.

If you have a PC your options regarding places to play poker online are almost limitless. There are so many poker rooms out there right now you could probably find a different one to play for every day of the month. If you have a Mac you’d barely be able to find enough sites to play on a different day for a week.

So where do Mac computer users go to play poker online? There are a few options out there that give you one important decision to make before getting your chips. Not all poker rooms that offer their tables out to Mac users have downloadable software. Some you can download and play the same way you would on a PC, while the rest all use online Java web-based software.

In the downloadable section the best out there right now according to most MacPoker web sites is Full Tilt Poker. At Full Tilt you get all the features of the downloadable PC software right on your Mac. This includes all the tables, the tournaments, great tips and articles and the boatload of poker pros Full Tilt has promoting their wares. Another big plus at Full Tilt is that unlike a number of poker rooms they are still accepting American players.

If you choose to go the online Java web-based route, there are two great sites that are neck-and-neck for the title of being the best. They are Pokerroom.com and Pacific Poker. Both offer great, easy-to-use compatible software and lots of tables, tournaments and features. The downside for both rooms is that if you’re American they won’t take your money.

If none of these poker rooms do it for you there are still a few more out there that with work with your Mac. Some of the other downloadable software includes Bugsy’s Club, and Party Poker, while other Java web-based software providers include Absolute Poker and HollywoodPoker.
